Half chance for Martinez on the volley but it is well wide of Szczesny's goal.

90'

Juventus have seen this out well, five minutes of added time.

86'

Ronaldo gets played in with Matuidi and he tries to delay crossing but eventually has to send it in and wins a corner.

85'

This is where Juventus are so good. They just manage games so well. Clever passing and intelligent drawing of fouls. Impressive.

What is less impressive is Ronaldo's free-kick, which smashes into the wall.

GOAL! JUVENTUS 1-0 INTER (MARIO MANDZUKIC)

There it is! Cancelo is played in down the left and he slightly delays his cross but floating the ball to the back post where Mandzukic is gleefully waiting to head home. Juve lead!

63'

The game is starting to open up a little bit here. It needs one moment of quality to break the dead-lock...

Bit of patience from Inter now, who already seem slower with Politano gone, and Perisic sends a header over.

Good advantage from the referee as Gagliardini fouls Matuidi and Ronaldo fires over.

We've got the second yellow of the night as Bentancur catches Gagliardini late.

53'

OVER!

Dangerous stuff from Handanovic and Miranada as they try to play out against the high press and are eventually punished. Mandzukic sends it in from the left but Dybala smashes it over.

52'

CHANCE!

And that's the reward for their patience. Matuidi turns beautifully in the Inter box and sends a low cross across the box. It causes chaos and Inter eventually get it behind. The corner is wasted though.

51'

Juve just trying to slow things down a bit and regain a bit of control after that early lapse of concentration.

48'

CHANCE!

So sloppy from Juventus. Matuidi loses the ball carelessly and Icardi plays it to Politano. However his shot is blocked well by Bonucci.

46'

Welcome back, the half-time rock show has ended and the players are back out.

This should be a good half!

45+1'

Szczesny gets something on it and we will have a corner that Ronaldo heads away and it breaks down.

That will be half-time. Entertaining opening 45 minutes in Turin, all we need now is a goal.

45'

More brilliant control from Politano down on the right and he draws a foul from Cancelo in a dangerous area just before the break.

44'

Juventus take a quick throw despite having Bentancur down and Inter cope with it well.

41'

Inter have to wake up from corners. This time Bonucci gets free and heads over.

41'

More good defending by Brozovic as he is alert to Cancelo as he bursts into the box.

40'

Inter players aren't happy as Bentancur comes in late on Icardi. He wins the ball but it was dangerous, referee gives free-kick and nothing more.

38'

Chiellini gets another header away from a corner and he just sends it over. Now it's Juve who are threatening.

36'

BLOCK AND SAVE!

Brilliant from Brozovic. A cutback from the Juve left finds Bentancur arriving in the box but Brozovic throws himself in front of the shot. From the corner Chiellini draws a smart stop from Handanovic.

35'

Ball comes in from the right and Mandzukic leaps well and gets his header away. It's easy for Handanovic however.

34'

Better from Juve as they take control of the ball for a couple of minutes. Bonucci tries to whip the ball in but Inter clear. However this is better from the champions.

32'

Now Politano gives the ball away and Brozovic does well to hurl himself in the way of a Ronaldo shot from distance. On the counter Gagliardini gets in behind the defence but his cutback is dealt with.

30'

Inter have another chance a minute later as Politano gets free again. This time he goes down the line and cuts it across. Inter players get in each other's way and they make a mess of the shot.

29'

POST!

Fantastic from Inter! Sensational ball out to the right finds Politano and he brings it under control instantly. He cuts inside and finds Icardi who cleverly sets up Gagliardini. He bursts through on goal but his shot comes back off the post with Szczesny beaten.

28'

juventus break with Dybala and he shows some lovely footwork only to give the ball away with a sloppy pass. Perisic tries to release Icardi on the counter but he gets his pass wrong.

26'

Cancelo and De Sciglio have switched wings and the former has to be alert to cut out a burst forward from Vrsaljko

24'

Skriniar is down and there's blood after a stray arm from Ronaldo. The referee gives a free-kick and after a brief delay we're back underway.

22'

Inter at peppering the Juve box with a series of crosses but so far Bonucci and Chiellini are dealing with everything that is coming their way.

20'

Another counter, this time from Inter from Juve's corner and a cross is deflected into the path of Szczesny who gathers comfortably. This has been a good start to the game, lively and both teams playing some nice stuff.

18'

Inter have a couple of bites at the cherry but eventually the ball ends up in Szczesny's hands. Juve counter and Ronaldo wins a corner for the home team.

17'

Brief pause in play as Gagliardini recovers from a late challenge from Matuidi but he's back on his feet and good to carry on.

Perisic gets down the left and whips over a dangerous cross but Chiellini is alert to head it over.

14'

Vrsaljko bursts forward from right-back and surprisingly he doesn't get closed down. So he decided to have a go and it's easy for Szczesny to claim.

13'

Juventus are pressing Inter intensely to try and win the ball back and they're doing so more often than not. A spell of Juve pressure ends with a sloppy pass.

10'

CHANCES!

Another lovely ball out to the left finds De Sciglio and his backheel plays in Matuidi. The Frenchman cuts it back and Inter don't deal with it and Handanovic has to tip over Dybala's shot. From the corner Cancelo eventually sends the ball in and the header from Bonucci goes over.

8'

Much better from Juve! It starts with a wonderful piece of skill from Cancelo on the right. Then the ball is spread out to Ronaldo who brings the ball down, plays a one-two and then fizzes the ball in. Dybala gets the header away but it goes over.

Calm as you like from Miranda under pressure at the back and he finds Mario who bursts away from Pjanic, drawing the foul and indeed the first yellow of the night. It is early but that was already Pjanic's second foul to stop a counter.

4'

Good early pressure from Inter as they force a couple of mistakes from Juventus. They work it and the ball is fired in to Icardi from the left. His little touch sets up Mario on the edge of the area but the shot is deflected behind. Szczesny punches the corner but it's called back because the ball went out of play.

2'

Early touch for De Sciglio after being played in by Ronaldo but his cross is cleared out.

De Sciglio has lined up on the left with former Inter player Cancelo out on the right.

After a minute's silence for Gigi Radice who sadly passed away at the age of 83 we are underway in the Derby D'Italia!

Right there are five minutes to go, what are your predictions?

It's nice to see this game given Friday night billing. Both teams have important Champions League games next week and by giving them more time they are able to field full-strength teams.

Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini has been speaking of the importance of this match.

“We need something more compared to many other games, because Juve-Inter is always Juve-Inter,” the centre-back said Juventus TV.

“This season more than before, Inter have a squad that is capable of challenging for the title. It’ll be tough, but we are really hungry.

“A match like this requires patience and balance, because Inter can hurt you on the counter-attack, running into space and on crosses.

“We’ve got to pay a lot of attention to the details, as all the big games are decided on details.”

This week saw the Italian Football Federation's awards and here are Icardi and Paulo Dybala receiving their awards as the best strikers in Italy.

Lazio's Ciro Immobile is also there but he looks thoroughly unamused by the whole affair...

Friday night in Turin is looking good...

STAT ATTACK

That is some stat for Mauro Icardi. He may have his critics but he certainly turns up in the Derby d'Italia.
